A member asked:

Dear doctors, i would like to find out if it is safe to take yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pills for 3 months without any break. ?

Probably safe: There isn't enough evidence regarding the long term effects of skipping the week off from birth control hormones. Most doctors agree that it is probably safe to go up to 4 months at a time. The uncertainty lies with the unknown effects of prolonged estrogen stimulation without a break.
